Ep. 451: Q26 RV Rally – Quartzsite, Arizona | boondocking hiking 4×4 rvlife La Posa South LTVA

Q26 was this year's incarnation of the annual RV rally that we co-host in the Arizona desert each January, timed to coincide with the Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Show. Held each year in the BLM's La Posa South Long Term Visitor Area (LTVA), it's a gathering of like-minded RVers looking for a loosely structured rally to circle around the campfire, make new friends, and reconnect with old ones. Come hiking, off-roading, mingling, and boondocking in the desert with Grand Adventure!

Filmed: January 16-25, 2026

ABOUT US

Welcome to Grand Adventure, a YouTube channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, always filmed in stunning 4K.

We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah during the winter months, and invite you to come along as we travel all around North America. My wife Patricia and I, and dog Zoe are avid boondockers, so while you'll occasionally find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. We've now transitioned from "long-timing" for six months a year, to living and traveling in our RV full-time.

We'll provide beautiful travel videos, as well as some tips and insight on trip planning, and equipping and maintaining your RV to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!

Grand Adventure is the creative video outlet for Marc Guido, a 50-something outdoors enthusiast who first added an RV to his gear bag in spring 2017. Outside of ski season he travels the U.S. in his fifth wheel RV trailer with his lovely wife Patricia, and their overly-caffeinated Labrador retriever Zoe. During winter, they base their RV in Salt Lake City for the skiing.
